This is a story for explorers like yourself. People with imagination who look forward to suspenseful conflicts that await them, wonder what unknown burdens they will bear and are spellbound by the mysterious forces that shall take them to destinations they might have never known. Exploring uncharted territory around you is uncomfortable, charting what is within can be outright painful. So, this adventure is neither for the faint hearted nor the timid. There are many places in your life that you would rather not visit, many low-lying marshes that are too embarrassing to share with another, many heights that you have crossed off to your imagination. Yes, the path of this story will take you to those forbidden lands, not to perish, but to make it there and back. No exploration is complete without its hidden treasure. And yes, you will find many golden keys to unlock treasures untouched by those before you. Perhaps, this exploration, with a change of settings, is your own story, told through another. It beseeches you to be honest with yourself - even if you can't share your secret missteps. For like Jacob, you too can be more than a survivor. You may find within you the power to change your world
